About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Amelia Island, Florida, United States

I created this blog for a couple of reasons. In keeping a commitment that I made to myself, I have been walking at least thirty minutes every day since the first of the year. On these walks, I get to stroll through what I think is one of the most charming towns on earth. On every walk, I see at least 10 things that make me smile. I intend to show you a photo of one of those things (person, place, animal, flora, house, event or scene) so that you can enjoy our town right along with me. The second reason is so that you can keep tabs on my commitment to myself. I pledge to put a photo from the CURRENT day's walk on this blog every day. My goal is to begin running in about another month, so it could get tricky taking the camera along but I'll be thrilled to cross that bridge when I waddle over it. So....... no excuses. I invite you to keep tabs on me and to enjoy my little town of Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island, Florida right along with me. I turned 49 today. This is my "before " photo. You'll see me again when I turn 50 - February 1, 2008. I hope you'll enjoy the journey with me.

Ahhhh.... autumn on Amelia Island. Our perfect 80 degree days and 60 degree nights have been just what our guests from the north country have been enjoying for the past few weeks. Golf, tennis, kayaking, carriage tours, boat tours, farmers' markets and gallery strolls have all been seeing Fairbanks House guests in record numbers throughout October and early November.

The kids are all back in school so it's kind of like "adult swim" time on Amelia Island. At Fairbanks House, we call it "Grownup Season," complete with Grownup Season Romance Specials. Now through February 5, 2006, you can enjoy savings on our ever-popular Romance Packages. Find the details at: http://www.fairbankshouse.com/romance.html.
